Palmas Futebol e Regatas was founded on January 31, 1997, after borrowing Canelas documentation, which was already regularized at Tocantins Football Federation, thus, becoming the first professional club of the city.

In 2004, the club was eliminated in Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, by 15 de Novembro. That was the club's best participation in the competition.[4]
On January 24, 2021, Palmas' special plane crashed on the way to Goiânia, killing the president of the club Lucas Meira, four footballers and the pilot.[5]
